[ITP] gnucap - initial questions

[Peter Li]

  The Gnu Circuit Analysis Package has a stable version 0.35 from 2006 
and a very usable dev version from December 2009.  I have found it 
useful in my work, and considerably easier than trying to compile SPICE 
or find a decent free SPICE binary.  There are already Debian and Fedora 
packages.

It compiles in Cygwin with an extremely simple 5 line patch, which has 
not changed over multiple releases from the 2006 version to today.  Is 
there interest in making it a Cygwin package?  I'm willing to put 
together a current package, but I'm not confident that I can handle 
porting future releases if they require more complicated patching.  
Perhaps someone else would be willing to take this up?

I would lean towards making the initial package the latest dev version 
and the "previous" version the stable 0.35 release; what is standard 
practice?

Best,
Peter
